Chapter 220 The First Diner
"Erya and the others really made a lot of money. They just held up a sign and walked around a few times. I heard the boss only gave them five dollars!"
"Yeah, I'm so envious. That's five dollars. I can only earn a little over one dollar if I do hard labor for a day. They can earn the same as three days of hard labor by just walking around the county town."
"It's a pity that my sister is not good-looking, otherwise she would have been in the team."
"Erya and the others are lucky, but they can only earn this money once. Unlike Wenjuan and Wenying, they were hired as waitresses by the hotel. I heard they earn 25 yuan a month!"
"No way? I remember that Ah Sheng's wife worked as a waitress in a state-owned restaurant for two or three years, and she only made 24 yuan a month. I heard from Uncle Liu that this Suifeng Restaurant is privately owned. How come the treatment is better than that of a state-owned restaurant?"
"The boss is rich!"
“…”
The members of the publicity team sent by Suifeng Hotel to advertise are all from Xincun. Today is the market day in the county town, so naturally people from Xincun, which is located around the county town, all come out to attend the market. When they see the young girls and wives in the village parading through the streets holding billboards, they can't help but talk about it.
Even the idle villagers in the village followed the large group to watch the fun.
Soon, the advertising team made a circle around the county town and returned to the Suifeng Hotel with hundreds of onlookers.
In the restaurant, Deng Shirong was drinking and chatting with Zhang Guangzong.
Deng Yuntai had been observing the pedestrians outside, so he was the first to see the advertising team sent out by his own restaurant. When he saw the team leading hundreds of people towards the restaurant, he couldn't help but shout, "Dad, look outside, there are so many people!"
Deng Shirong looked outside when he heard it, and saw hundreds of people following the propaganda team. He didn't find it strange at all. Even in later times, whenever there was a big commotion, there would always be a lot of people gathering around to watch the fun, let alone in this age when there is a lack of entertainment.
Although he knew that those hundreds of people were just there to join in the fun and that few of them would become real customers, Deng Shirong still stood up and said, "Uncle Zhang, drink first. I'll go out and talk."
As we walked out of the hotel, the propaganda team just happened to bring the onlookers to the hotel entrance.
Deng Shirong reached out and took the gong, and beat it rhythmically a few times, focusing the attention of the hundreds of people. He cleared his throat and said loudly: "Good morning, fellow villagers. My last name is Deng, and I am the owner of this Suifeng Restaurant.
Our Suifeng Hotel is the largest hotel in the county so far. It can accommodate six or seven hundred people for dinner at the same time. In the future, if anyone wants to hold a dignified banquet for a wedding, a child’s full moon, or an elder’s birthday, please come to our hotel. We guarantee that everything will be done perfectly and you will be the center of attention among your relatives and friends.
In addition, today is the grand opening day of our hotel. We will offer a 20% discount for three consecutive days. I hope that you will tell each other about Suifeng Hotel after you go back, so that more people will know about it. We also welcome guests who want to try new things to come in and taste our food. I believe you will not be disappointed. "
As soon as Deng Shirong finished speaking, someone said, "Boss, your restaurant looks high-end. I'm afraid it will cost a lot to have a meal in it. How can we afford it?"
Deng Shirong smiled and said, "Please rest assured, the prices in our restaurant are not expensive. It can be said that most people can afford it. In our restaurant, even if you only spend a few cents, you can still fill your stomach, and we guarantee that there will be meat and vegetables!
Of course, if you want to eat better, you have to spend money, and I believe everyone can understand this.”
When these words were spoken, many people's eyes lit up.
If they were told that a meal there would cost ten or eight yuan, they would definitely leave without saying a word. But since they could eat in this seemingly upscale restaurant for just a few cents, many people were tempted.
Having said what needed to be said, Deng Shirong handed the gong back to its original owner and said, "Okay, go in and have some tea, and then continue working!"
The middle-aged man took the gong and nodded, "Got it, Boss!"
So he took the girls from the propaganda team into the hotel to drink water, and three minutes later he led the team out again.
Then, those who had come to watch the fun continued to follow the propaganda team. Even if a small number of people wanted to go into the restaurant to try something new, it was not now. They had to wait until at least eleven or twelve o'clock when they were hungry before going in to eat.
Deng Shirong returned to the table and continued drinking with Zhang Guangzong.
At around 10:30 in the morning, Deng Shirong asked the chef Zhang Guofu to prepare today's working meal.
Generally speaking, the employees of a restaurant either eat early or late, and they basically don't eat at mealtime. After all, guests come to eat at mealtime. If business is good, the employees are busy, so how can they have time to eat? Today's working meal is quite sumptuous. After all, it is not only for the employees of the restaurant, but also for the boss's family and relatives. In addition, the restaurant is newly opened today, so it would be unreasonable not to prepare some delicious dishes.
Looking at the sumptuous meal, Deng Shirong's family, Bu Dashi and others became accustomed to it.
After all, when he was in the countryside, the quality of his family's food was obvious to everyone.
But for the two waiters, Zhang Wenjuan and Zhang Wenying, such a sumptuous working meal made them very excited.
It is no exaggeration to say that when they were at home, even during the Chinese New Year, the food they ate was not as good as this.
The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!
The dishes they eat at home during the Chinese New Year may be no less than those here, but the taste of the dishes cooked by their parents certainly cannot be compared with those cooked by the chefs in the restaurant.
Therefore, this working lunch was the most delicious meal Zhang Wenjuan and Zhang Wenying had ever eaten since they grew up.
While eating the delicious meal, the two girls secretly made up their minds to work hard here.
By the time everyone finishes their working lunch, it’s basically time for dinner.
The Suifeng Hotel also welcomed its first diner after its opening.
He was a fat young man. Nowadays, it is not like the later generations where a thrown brick can hit several fat people. Those who can eat themselves fat these days must come from a fairly good family.
Facts have proved that this inference is correct. The fat young man sat down at the waiter's invitation, took the menu handed to him by the waiter, looked at it for less than a minute, and ordered four dishes in one go.
And there are three meat dishes and one vegetable dish, which is really quite impressive.
After ordering the dishes, the fat young man said, "Two more bottles of Pearl River beer."
"Okay, please wait a moment, the food and drinks will be ready soon."
